Jim Roberts Quotations

He's a great player that doesn't need much room.

Bill understands the important role of the KGS in the research and service missions of the university and is working to build closer ties with the rest of the campus. He recognizes that all public service at KU begins with teaching and research and has provided outstanding leadership the past two years and made excellent hires during the interim. Thanks to his efforts, the KGS is in a strong position and poised to be of even greater service to Kansas.

Marion is a great defender, one of the best we've faced. But, don't forget, he had some help.

I think defensively we picked things up. We scrapped for loose balls. They beat us to loose balls in the first half. I thought down the stretch, we negated that.

Six years ago, I got a call from someone in Superior Township who said I ought to come take a look at this guy,

I thought our kids came out with a purpose, but there was no other alternative.

I thought our ball movement was pretty good. The shots aren't always going to fall, but when the ball moves, you give yourself a chance.

I think what I'm hearing is, 'Can we keep Heath students in Heath, at least through those two facilities (Garfield and Stevenson)?' And I think we could.

We did a pretty good job of converting those turnovers into baskets. Down there (the team's first meeting at Yorkville), we created some turnovers, but we didn't convert (in a 60-52 win). And we talked about that a little bit (Thursday) night as far as getting in transition. You work hard to get the ball, so let's value it.

What sometimes gets missed is he's a great passer too. Our guys did a good job getting up on him and getting their hands up.
